These stick welding gloves have a deerskin leather palm. Deerskin leather is soft, lightweight, and conforms easily to the hand for high comfort and flexibility. It has a longer lifespan than cowhide and is warmer than other leathers. Stick welding gloves are thick, heavy-duty gloves that have welted seams to protect against burns caused by sparks and high heat. Stick welding can be used to weld most common alloys and metals and is best suited for welding thick workpieces and is commonly used to weld stainless steel and steel structures in metal fabrication, construction, and repair tasks.
